Post: "The legacy of Bin Laden" By Immortal Technique

Original Content:

I can't imagine many, if any, of you will actually read this, particularly as it's a pretty long read.

But I encourage anyone who wants to get a good understanding of the background of what happened, and what it all means, to read this:

props to XXL for putting it up for him.

When the announcement came late last night that Osama Bin Laden had been killed by the United States, many took to *******, the streets, and the airwaves to offer snap judgments, brief thoughts, and celebration. Immortal Technique, instead, took a different route. The always critically thinking, socially conscious rhymer decided to reflect. He reflected on the news and what it meant for this country and the world, and he translated those reflections onto digital paper.

This morning, we saw Tech tweet the following: “I wrote a very long essay about Bin Laden and Afghanistan and our involvement with it, but I doubt any of you really want to read it all. There is no link. It’s not posted it’s just sitting here. I haven’t posted it anywhere yet.” We wanted to give a platform for the response of one of hip-hop’s most politically aware minds. Tech in turn bestowed us with this potent, lengthy essay that you’ll find below.

We encourage you to prove him wrong in doubting that anyone will read his words.
